Mural Mural on the Walls
Mural Mural on the Walls leads community groups to create and install art in public spaces.
Our Ceramic Tile Projects recruit the participation of children, adolescents, senior citizens and adults at community, senior and other collaborative forums to beautify the communities we visit.
Wildly successful with participants and communities alike we seek to expand our reach to all neighborhoods that desire a splash of color to help to create waves of beauty. Group Projects are taught by Jennifer Wade and curated by Patrick Dennis.
We now have five tile murals on display at New York City locations:
New York Aquarium, Wildlife Conservation Society, Coney Island, Brooklyn, NY
Langston Hughes Senior Center, Brooklyn, NY
Frederick Douglass Senior Center, New York, NY
JASA Senior Alliance, Brooklyn, NY
Bay Senior Center, Brooklyn, NY
